Nope. This is a mailing list FAQ - the maintainers of the list believe in
free speech, and feel that restricting posts from subscribed users impedes
on this. As such, no filtering is in place (technically, I think they've
filtered most of the virus-postings + Scanner Notifications).

Most of us run some sort of procmail+spamassassin or other filtering to
clean it up.
